11/09/12 - Dozens of members and associates of the Aryan
Brotherhood of Texas were rounded up by state and federal agents on
charges of drug distribution, capital murder, multiple attempted murders,
kidnapping, arson, gambling and extortion. Prosecutors used the RICO act
to deliver a serious blow against the Aryan Brotherhood and cease some of
its illegal operations throughout the state.
The prison gang used crews of ex-con enforcers to intimidate and cause terror
to anyone who defied the gangs rules or who did not follow orders. The Aryan
Brotherhood also produced and distributed methamphetamines and sold heroin
and other drugs. Arrests were made in Dallas, Lubbock, San Antonio, Houston,
Beaumont, Brownsville, Corpus Christi and even North Carolina.

According to the indictment, high ranking Aryan
Brotherhood generals ordered the brutal aggravated assault of one of
the gangs prospect. ABT
offenders invaded the suspects home in Houston, beat him and then cut off
his middle finger. ABT
leaders ordered that the victims finger be delivered to them. The assault
came as a result of the prospect stealing drugs.
The high ranking ABT
gang generals are identified as Terry Ross Blake, 55; Charles Lee Roberts,
68; Larry Max Bryan, 51; and William David Maynard, 42.
